We were told that 2 brothers broke into the school and poured fuel and lite the fire. It was a Saturday and the building burned for many hours. I remember hearing the school bell clanging as the third floor collapsed. As kids we thought that we would get to have time off from school but, as it worked out we reported to Libby that Monday. For a period of time students sat double in a seat while we studied. I was in 6th grade when this fire happened. We were told that 2 brothers broke into the school and poured fuel and lite the fire.

I used them for a quick drill with the rest of my shift on March 25th, the anniversary of the two incidents. I contacted you before but wasn't quick enough to record your email address when you were kind enough to reply. I am hoping to submit a picture of my great grandfather in his Fuller Hose Fire Company uniform. Please feel free to contact me via my email at leatherlungs8@Hotmail.com or through this website again and I will certainly try to be more timely. Thanks again.
